No, it doesn't appear that WOTF24 is out today either, meaning that Borders had a bad date as well....(Amazon is still showing Sept 8). It would be nice to know when that anthology is going to be released. ::sighs::

Wrote 2.3K on the PB story yesterday, which appears likely to hit a gruesomely unmarketable 15-20K. ::sighs again::

Sorted out irises, packed some up to mail to a flister. Bagged some up for family members. Will probably re-plant the others tomorrow, along with some "Batik" and "Immortality" that I've picked up. Went to the park and Mr. Loki is now tired.

Lovely weather, though. Gotta like fall weather. ;o)

Everything I've heard second-hand from Galaxy Press seems to indicate a "sometime in October" release date - I think someone mentioned it on the Adventures in Sci Fi Publishing podcast, too.

Sigh.

Yeah, I'm doing a con this week-end and get to say "I don't know". Yes, so we'll just get to check back every Tuesday....

Grump. Grump grump. *mutters something about how not to increase sales for one's product*

I know the feeling about that 15-20K range. Meh. There are markets, but not many. I don't care anymore where the word count hits on shorts/novelettes. If they sell, great, if not, I put them aside to revise later. At least you have some good credits to your name already :)

This one reads more like a romance, though, despite having speculative elements. Perhaps I can sell it in that realm (because they do seem to like novellas). Unfortunately, SF credits won't help me over there. :(

[amsaph.livejournal.com]

True. But it still proves you can write well and have an audience.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Thanks ;o)

We did some cleaning out of the garden. Discovered that we have lettuce coming up. And mice have infiltrated the chimney (they have the little u-shaped hole and everything). Trouble is brewing.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Like a cartoon mouse-hole? Cool!

[pabba.livejournal.com]

The book will be released when I say so.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

oh, grate....now it'll never see print...

It's the waiting that's the hardest part. It'll happen! I wish for now, too, though :)

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Isn't there a song about that....

[jtglover.livejournal.com]

The important thing: whenever it appears, you'll be in it. :)

Hope the day picks up for you...

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the good thoughts ;o)

[therinth.livejournal.com]

Waiting sucks...but congrats on the progress, otherwise!

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we all gotta wait, darn it.

Last date I heard was "October 10", but I can't remember where I heard that. Just sent my Q1 WOTF entry today, citing that the anthology is not yet available in stores -- eligibility thing, you know. (grin)

Good luck!
